“Miles and Sterling bring the perfect mix of experience and
skills to Archer’s management team as we accelerate towards
commercialization in 2025,” said Nikhil Goel, Archer’s Chief
Commercial Officer. “At Wheels Up, Miles pioneered key strategic
initiatives to build the company into a well known brand. At Delta
Air Lines, Sterling oversaw the company’s early AAM strategy, with
a focus on integrating eVTOL aircraft into its operations to
upgrade a traveler’s home-to-airport experience. We couldn’t be
more excited to have both leaders join the Archer team.”
“I’m honored to be joining Archer as the level of talent that
has come to work here is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my
career and ensures we’re set up to successfully execute the
company’s vision across every aspect of the business,” said Rogers.
“The value proposition Archer is poised to deliver with our
Midnight eVTOL aircraft goes well beyond saving people time. We
have the opportunity to change our customers' perspective on the
communities they live in by providing a travel experience that
unlocks new worlds of opportunity. I look forward to building out
our strategic initiatives with new partners all over the world as
we bring our brand to market and change the game in urban
transportation.”
“At Delta, I had the opportunity to interact with all of the
major eVTOL aircraft manufacturers globally and decided to come to
Archer because for me its vision and execution have driven the
company’s impressive ascent to the top of the industry over the
last few years. I’m thrilled to be joining this team at such an
exciting time to lead the maturation of the Archer customer
experience in preparation for bringing Midnight to market,” said
Gerdes.
